Chris, the rating is 5.0, with 8 votes.
It was the same story with Nicolas' first IDispatch article. I believe it should have been in the best picks also.
A glitch in the matrix?
|
|
|
|
|
I wonder if it is because it was moved shortly after publishing that it doesn't appear in the Best Picks.
|

Popularity is what matters. Not article rating.
|
|
|
|
|
And my popularity is also high enough.

Nicolas is talking about the Latest Best Picks box. As far as I can tell, rating is what matters there. It's sorted by rating. For example, an article with a single rating of 5 will appear before an article with a lower rating regardless of popularity.
Nicolas' article should appear there. It was posted on 30 August 2009. It has a rating of 4.93, a popularity of 5.32, and 12 votes.
The article was moved by an editor shortly after publishing.

When I'm on web12 I don't get the list only the last item is shown 'All message boards...' when going over the menu item.
Only seems to happen on web12
I'm using chrome. (if that helps  )

Seems to have sorted itself out.

Never heard that one before but did make me 
But like I said I can't constantly reproduce it and doesn't seem to be all that often, so might not be worth the effort to track it down.

A month ago Chris fixed a bug rare enough that it took several months before we accurately identified the series of events that caused it. It would result in the last message that should've been returned in a forum view not being shown.

It's a caching and threading issue that I'm reworking at the moment. As Dan said - these things can be awfully hard to reproduce on the live site, let alone in development.
However, I've gone back to first principles on parts of the code in the hope that using monosyllabic words will make the compiler finally understand me.

This code highlighting really bugs me; the default language should be text, or perhaps it should be a per user setting.
|
|

Why would you include plain text in a code block? Use <TT> if you want a fixed-width inline region.

Does <TT> have a button to insert automatically in the editor?
Also, the code tag is (ab)used to make inline edits of quoted text.

Even when I post code that I don't want highlit?

I have made the assumption that the chances that a CODE block will have code that the user doesn't want highlighted is less than the chance that it contains code they do want it highlighted and so ended up with the decision that if you don't want a CODE block highlighted then the <code lang="text"> option, while inconvenient for you, is more convenient for the majority of users.

I just tried it with a Regex; bleah, it's just black, I like the red of a code block.

Love the yellow sticky, your determination to get these idiots to read the rules is admirable - have you considered using blinking fuchsia. JSOP may venture out of the WPF and Lounge for that.

Are authors able to vote for there own articles or is someone messing about?
Some awful unpublished articles have one 5 vote.
|
|
|
|

Yeah, anyone can vote for their own article - I would one vote all mine but I can't do it anonymously so I'd know it was me
